Adaptive Cruise Control *Added*
So, I spent an hour sticking all sorts of long things into the two holes in the steering wheel trying to release the airbag. No dice. Got really frustrated. Then I watched/listened to the linked video very closely. Got just enough out of it to deduce that every tool I was jamming in there was too fat. So, I cut 8" of straight metal off a coat hanger and stuck that in there. Got ihe airbag off in under a minute. It doesn't take much force to push the two spring loaded pins on the airbag that retain the airbag to the two metal hooks on the wheel.
I would NOT recommend using anything wood. There is essentially a narrow plastic funnel on each side that guides your tool to the pins. If you bust something in there that plugs the funnel, you are screwed.
Who knew?

Update on stop & go: I have the 2018 CADS module & an '18 IPMA, '18 ABS module. First order of business is to just connect the CADS CCM module but our existing connector is 18 pins (with only 4 being used) and the new CADS module's connector is 8 pins (4 used). So now I have to rig up some kind of adapter between the two because I'm not cutting into my existing wiring in case this experiment goes south lol. The other issue is that this CADS unit is about 1/2 the size of our existing CCM so I need to track down the CCM bracket for it also.

I don't know, I'm gonna have to pull off that bumper trim piece again and see if something can be MacGyver'd just to test this thing.

Yeah but the pigtail is $27 so I'll see if I can rig something like terminal sockets and some wire to see if it works first.

i bet if you look up that font wire harness it will cost you about the same. I bet connector C134 is the same and you will only have to pin the wires in other spots to work.

Yeah, the Allen wrenches I had that were long enough were too fat. Oh well. I was dry running it so I'd know how to do it when the parts get here. So, now I won't get all pissed off when I have parts in hand....
